Trust me, I minored in economics in college. Stop worrying. This will all be over soon. You'll be able to let go and get off. But right now, you're an unwilling passenger on the rich folks "game" train. And boy oh boy are "they" taking "us" for a ride. Hooooo, hoooo goes the whistle. Dollars, dollars, dollars, dollars, hoooooo, hooooo - we hate the middle class - we hate the middle class - hooooo, hoooo. Screw the middle class, hooooooo, hoooo, they'll always be poor, hooooo, hoooo, they're all losers, hooo, hoooo. Did they think they could get ahead - ha! Hooooo, hooooo.
Did you listen to Lou Dobbs tonight? The "panel" of rich white old men said its "all" Clinton's fault. Seems he was trying to let more middle class and poor folks buy homes. How dare he. It had nothing to do with 8 years of Bush and a Democratic do-nothing Congress. It has nothing to do with greedy old men paying each other millions to steal from the middle class and give more to the other rich old men. The ex-CEO of Freddie Mac was paid $33 million dollars over 4 years!
McCain, who owns 8 homes - isn't that what Cindy said they have? - tells us the "foundation" is sound. Ok, but we're working with a "foundation" where the price of oil has decreased 33% the last few months, but the price of gas at the pump has gone down only 7%. This "foundation" tells us that the economy has grown 3.4% in the 3rd quarter, but thousands of folks are losing their jobs, you cannot afford a new car and the price of your home has been cut in half. The government is now talking about "bailing out" AIG with a $85 billion dollar "loan', but personal bankcrupcies have skyrocketed, and when is the last time you got a decent raise, if you still have a job.
This is all a rich persons game. Your less than a pawn in the game. There is nothing you can do about any of it. So sit back and relax. When the rich folks get tired doing whatever it is that they're doing - the people and party they have already chosen will get elected. They'll let us vote just to appease us poor folks. This time next year, when the dust has settled, you'll be just fine and you'll be able to let go and get off. You might even forget that it even happened, just like when Clinton was elected President. Remember? I didn't so.
